Dungeon Magic: Sword of the Elements is an action role-playing game for the Nintendo Entertainment System. Set in the Kingdom of Granville, the game follows the story of the hero Magi, who once defeated the Dark Overlord Darces using six magical swords. Five of these swords represent elemental powers while the sixth possesses unmatched strength. Players navigate through dungeons to reclaim the swords and restore peace to the kingdom.
500 years ago, the Kingdom of Granville fought a terrible war with Darces the Dark Overlord. A great hero, the warrior `Magi`, rose to challenge Darces. He owned six magical swords and a powerful suit of armor that was impervious to all but the most powerful of magic. Five of his six swords were Elemental blades, each created from the rarest metals on earth. The sixth blade, `Tores`, used an even more powerful metal. Using his powers, Magi defeated Darces, and exiled him to a far away land. After defeating Darces, Magi grew old and died. Now, on a dark, stormy night in the Kingdom of Granville, Darces the Dark Overlord returns to the land. According to an old saying, `When the shadowed veil returns to mask the midday sun, the Fire of Serpents will rise again; Five shall become the One. The elements now heed his call, and hope is born alive; We will have our peace once more when One becomes the Five.`
